The Star-Crossed Saga: ProtoStar- Braxton Cosby
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars
The Star-Crossed Saga: ProtoStar is a perfect blend of science-fiction and romance. Braxton Cosby successfully manages to grip all of the reader's mind.
The protagonist of this book is Prince William, the son of the very honored king of Fabricius, Gregorio. The story mostly revolves around his mission to the Earth to continue the legacy of his family and his kingdom of Fabricius, in which he is supposed to assassinate the Star-Child and how he deals with the events which keep popping up before him just as he starts his journey.
On the other side is Sydney, a seventeen-year-old girl who is the unsuspected Star-Child. She was raised by her grandmother Sarah as an orphan. Little did she know about her true life and her true self.
When William encounters Sydney for the first time, she is not the same person that he suspected her to be. Gradually, living with her for a few days, he falls in love with her.
The relationship between the characters is well-developed. The emotional outbursts of the characters are also very realistic and accurately placed in the correct situations.
The story-line becomes more and more intriguing as it continues further, but reading the first few chapters is really a tedious job which is a minus point. Just as the introductions of the characters end, the real excitement of the whole story begins. It really becomes difficult to put down the book! Sometimes, it even makes the reader just stare at the wall for some time before continuing further...
William's ship's IMPI (Independent Modulating Proprietary Intelligence) was an interesting artificial intelligence system. William also used IEPCS (Inner Ear Piece Communication System), which provided direct and fast communication between him and IMPI. These things gripped me as these highly sophisticated devices fitted the story perfectly.
The heart throbbing climax is also a very intriguing element of the story. But beware, you will encounter a lot of flirting through the entire story! The science-fiction element is perfectly mingled with action and romance. The antagonist is really unsuspected and is shown flawlessly.
The author has a great talent for describing the emotions magnificently. For example, "She struggled to hide the rush of blood streaming through her cheekbones, along with the fluttering inside her stomach." This phrase for describing blush is exceptionally well-written.
Further, the end discloses a lot of things which could never be guessed before reading them. It even discloses the plot and the antagonist of the second book which makes the reader really intrigued.
This book lost one point because:
1. The scenes were rushed in some places.
2. Sometimes the story did not make any sense.
3. The first few chapters were quite boring.
I would highly recommend this book to the fanatics of Young Adults, Romance, and Fantasy genres! This title will bring hours of fun to teenagers and adults...
The heroic antics of Prince William and Sydney for the sake of love is really refreshing and makes me look forward to reading the following books of the Star-Crossed Saga!
